ALT Linux Bugzilla – #32388

openldap-servers-2.4.42-alt4

log socket is created with wrong name and perms by rpm -i

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #32387 +++

rpm-4.0.4-alt100.94

rpm -i creates files with wrong names sometimes. Example: /var/lib/ldap/dev/log

x86_64: openldap-servers=2.4.42-alt4 post-install unowned files:
/var/lib/ldap/dev/log;57b4ccdb

Here is how this happens:

strace -e trace=file -fF rpm -Uhv openldap-servers....
.....
open("/etc/sysconfig/ldap;57b4db0e", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 10
lstat("/etc/sysconfig/ldap", 0x7fffdc7e8960) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rename("/etc/sysconfig/ldap;57b4db0e", "/etc/sysconfig/ldap") = 0
chown("/etc/sysconfig/ldap", 0, 0)      = 0
chmod("/etc/sysconfig/ldap", 0644)      = 0
utime("/etc/sysconfig/ldap", [2016/06/08-16:07:19, 2016/06/08-16:07:19]) = 0
lstat("/etc/syslog.d/ldap;57b4db0e", 0x654270) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
symlink("/var/lib/ldap/dev/log", "/etc/syslog.d/ldap;57b4db0e") = 0
....
lstat("/var/lib/ldap/dev/log;57b4db0e", 0x654270) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mknod("/var/lib/ldap/dev/log;57b4db0e", S_IFSOCK) = 0
....

..and there are no more mentions of /dev/log*

So, normally, as we can see from this log, rpm creates the file with a temporary name, and then renames it (as in the case of /etc/sysconfig/ldap ).

But such rename is not done after:

mknod("/var/lib/ldap/dev/log;57b4db0e", S_IFSOCK) = 0
